If it's a sports car then you know someone beat on it .That's way too many miles you'd be buying a headache .
Run away. Not a good deal, with that many miles your just asking for a real budget buster. Besides Nissans are horrible as far as reliability.

That's quite a bit of miles. You're looking at 5,000 miles per year driven over the industry standard of 15,00 miles annually( I like no more than 10-12K miles/annually personally). I would NOT buy this particular vehicle without a very thorough inspection. Otherwise, I recommend looking elsewhere and continuing your search.
Don't do it. Offer $500-$800 for it tops. Its 12 years old and probably beat to death. You can find a better car for your money.
Not a good deal! This vehicle has been driven around twenty thousand miles per year and that's too much! Reasonable miles is ten to fifteen thousand miles per year for the age of the vehicle! So this vehicle should have no more than 180,000 miles on it. Hope that helps! Jim
Allow me to play the Devil's advocate here..... Nobody's going to buy this car except a Nissan mechanic, and I doubt that this car would hold any interest for them other than parting out; so it's not going to sell for anything near that price..... I wouldn't expect that a new car dealer would have a car like this on its lot: too old, too many miles. So I'm guessing the dealer is a USED CAR DEALER. If so, forget it. It likely has problems beyond anything you could deal with..... But if it is a Nissan dealer, the car was probably traded for a newer Nissan, and that implies owner satisfaction with this car. With this premise, get a mechanic of your own to review the car. If he blesses it mechanically, a grand or so might be a good deal..... I'm guessing you're on the opposite end of rich, and that takes ingenuity to live well. You probably are better off with some other car, as all the others here have said. But this might be a short term solution for you..... Interesting!
no dealer will budge that much. forget it.
